    Wow she’s pretty.

    Is she a mixed breed? Looks like a Silver Laced Wyandotte with Rhode Island Red coloring mixed in.

      I have no idea. We got her from our local feed store selling Meyer’s Hatchery chicks. Based on the breeds they were selling, she’s supposed to be a Rhode Island Red or a Buckeye. There may have been a mixup, but I can’t find any good matches on their website. Also, we don’t have any other surprise beauties (out of 8).

        Interesting. I can’t find anything like her either. I did find some pictures of RIR crossed with SL Wyandotte, but that isn’t what they look like. I wonder if you got something new that Meyer is working on.

    She looks kinda similar to our girl, with that partridge pattern. I think that’s what it’s called anyway. I’m no chicken nerd (yet), I just like the damn things.

    But yeah, isn’t that iridescence lovely? Rainbow chickens ftw :)
